Patent Modular Integrated Ballistic Soldier Protection Systems = Abstract = Description = Claims = Drawings Abstract of the disclosure. The inventions provides an improved ballistic vest with integrated inflatable life preserver, completely encapsulated into the body of the vest. It provides also an inflatable bladders rapid evacuation system, which greatly improves an operability and efficiency of the soldiers engaged in combat operations. The vest main body is designed to receive all certified classes of ballistic protection into a special pocket at the front and at the back of the vest. For initial buoyancy and comfort, a single layer of neoprene foam is permanently integrated with the vest. The inflation system, comprise with automatic or manual inflator and CO, gas cartridge, is delivering a compressed gas to two (2) inflatable bladders located in underarm area of the vest using a system of flexible tubing and fittings connecting inflator with the bladders. The rapid gas evacuation system, comprise with gas extractor, is powered by single CO2 cartridge and is evacuating a gas from inflatable bladders using a system of flexible tubing and fittings. Ballistic vest is also equipped with Molly type attachment system at the front and back panels for additional equipment carrying capability. Modular Integrated Ballistic Soldier Protection System Therefor This invention provides an improved ballistic vest with floatation and rapid gas evacuation system. Background of the Invention Ballistic vests have long been known and widely used. Ballistic vests of various types go back hundreds of years and originated first as metal body armour used by soldiers from the beginning of human civilization. It usually includes a textile or other flexible material as a plate carrier, and hard plate, made of metal, ceramic or composite with ballistic protection capabilities. TyApical vests of this type are shown, for example, in the following United States of America patents: US7210390B1 Olson US20110004968A1 Morgan US6892392B2 Crye CA 3072695 2020-02-17
